My Blood, Your Blood is a multi-media science education package that will create a positive reaction to learning, and explain the blood donation process on a level that children can understand.

A letter from your Community Education Specialist…

As our school year comes to a close, we at the Community Blood Center would like to extend a heart-felt ‘Thank You’ to all the high schools that contributed to our community blood supply.  We had 122 schools participate in high school blood drives this 2007-08 school year with over 9,426 registered donors!  This is a remarkable accomplishment.  As you are aware, every pint donated saves up to 3 lives. In order to keep our supply stable and meet patient blood needs, we still need to have at least 350 donors a day to donate. We encourage each of you to donate this summer at the Community Blood Center or at a community blood drive.  Encourage your friends to come with you and continue serving your community. 

We hope that next school year will be more successful than this year, and we are looking into some new ideas to help promote giving the gift of life. 

Again, thank you for such an accomplishment, and have a safe, healthy and happy summer!

Sincerely,

Cristina M. Pickle
Community Education Specialist
